A Clearwater man who is accused of ramming a Pinellas County Sheriff Deputy’s cruiser was located hiding under the water, below a dock in nothing but his underwear. According to a story on TampaBay.com, 38-year-old Dana Shepard was arrested after police dogs helped sheriffs locate the man who is accused of ramming a stolen car into the deputy who stopped him for an expired tag.
According to the police Shepard backed his car into the cruiser and then drove off. At one point he abandoned the stolen vehicle and fled on foot. Deputies not only used police dogs but helicopters as well to locate the suspect. He has been charged with driving with an expired license, tag not assigned, fleeing and eluding, leaving the scene of an accident, grand theft auto and aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer.
